[C320-list] FW: (fwd) FW: Propane Tanks - new dangers

[Robert Seastream]

Now, now, Orlando.  However, although I can't credit the author, I do  
subscribe to the following rule:

"Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see."

Take everything else with a large grain of salt (tequila and lime,  
when available).
